6 Operation Theatres – Modular and Modern

The hospital is equipped with six state-of-the-art operation theatres, capable of performing a wide range of surgeries. All operation theatres are equipped with OT lights, surgical pendants, HEPA filters and laminar air flow to provide smooth flow of ultraclean air to prevent infections. These theatres are ultramodern and match the highest level of sterility protocols and standards.

The Anaemia Initiative

A holistic, time-bound action plan has been put into place by Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre to manage and significantly reduce the incidence of Nutritional Deficiency Anaemia at the community level. The time-bound action plan includes a promotive strategy to spread awareness, a preventive strategy to conduct mass-screenings, and a curative strategy to provide systematic and holistic care to anaemia patients.

NICU – 26 Bed

The well-staffed, state-of-the-art NICU enjoys excellent morbidity and mortality outcomes, even though 40% of the total admissions are critically-ill babies referred by other hospitals. Few of the facilities at the NICU include:

High-Frequency Ventilator (HFV)
Surfactant Replacement Therapy (SRT)
Thermal Care to Combat Hypothermia
Nitric Oxide Delivery System

Medical Outreach

The reality of the situation in rural South Gujarat is that vast proportions of the population lack access to even basic healthcare facilities, either due to financial reasons or geographic reasons.

The Medical Outreach programme took birth in 2005 to address both these issues by providing free treatment to tribal communities, especially those that were unable to visit a hospital. With the help of mobile clinics, primary level medical care is provided to communities right at their very doorstep.

Process:
Functioning as a ‘hub and spoke model’, under this programme, medical vans comprising doctors, paramedics and data entry operators, make daily visits to ~70 outreach centres across 47 remote villages in South Gujarat.

Each outreach centre is visited once a week, and in some sense, these villages, which have minimalistic medical facilities, have been ‘adopted’ by the hospital.

Patients are given quality treatment and diagnostic services. Medicines are distributed free of charge and those needing further treatment are referred to the hospital for more specialised attention.

Global Collaborations

As part of the Hospital’s commitment to improve its services and bring global technology to serve the local rural population, it undertakes various collaborations with leading international organisations such as USA’s Stanford University and Purdue University.

District Early Intervention Centre

The highly advanced District Early Intervention Centre was established to prevent or minimise physical and neurological disabilities in high-risk infants. This centre is the first-of-its-kind in the state of Gujarat and has been recognised by the Government of India as a ‘Model Centre’.

The Centre performs detailed diagnostic consultations and interventions for:

Visual impairment, Hearing Loss and Audiometry
Neurology, Speech-Language Pathology
Orthopaedic Surgeries
Psychiatry
Dentistry

Advanced Physiotherapy

Robotics

Robotics physiotherapy is an enhanced and developed technology that overcomes the shortcomings of manual therapy – widening the range of motion achievable, in addition to saving time and physical efforts.

Aquatic Therapy

As a multi-specialty hospital, the facility provides useful aquatherapy rehabilitation services for a variety of medical conditions. Moreover, the benefits of such a therapy helps reduce lengthy hospital stay and improves the quality of life for patients.

Cardiac Catheterization Lab – Angiography and Angioplasty

To address the growing need for quality cardiac services, the hospital has a dedicated cardiology department and cardiac catherisation lab for advanced diagnosis. The cardiology department has various experts including an Interventional Adult and Paediatric Cardiologist, Cardiac Surgeons, Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons and a Cardiac Rehabilitation Consultant.
